Customer Reviews
In addition to their website you can also book through the HipCamp app as well. Google Maps puts you right at the campground but it's in a beautiful setting overlooking the Blue River. It has some wonderful hosts (Matt & Angela) and I hope to go back again!
Beautiful place and friendly faces. Phenomenal time every time. Easier loading and unloading of the boats than some places we've been.
My wife and I arrived later than their last put in time and they staff didn’t blink. Super nice crew and owner. Prices are reasonable for rentals. The actual section of the river was nice also. Water was down a little so it was mostly smooth but still plenty deep to not get stuck.
Site was clean and nice. Primitive campsite. Right on the creek. Very secluded. Highly recommend. And management are very friendly and courteous.
Nice little camp ground right next to the river, pull next to the river. Camp next to your car.
We had a great experience on the 12-mile trip with Old Mill Canoe Rental! The Blue River was serene and teeming with wildlife. We spotted bald eagles and their nest, many turtles, and more. Matt, the owner, was super welcoming and knowledgeable. He ensured we were well-prepared and shared fascinating insights about the area. His passion for the river and dedication to providing a top-notch experience truly stood out. We are excited to come back and try the camping experience.
